Chapter 7 The Third Assessment: Dream ([-])

"A Li, guess what I just heard?" Qin Sizhu ran into the house excitedly, closed the door, and said to Hua Jianli mysteriously.

"I just went out and heard a disciple in the corridor say that he saw Du Wanqing kicking the person who asked for her help in the Spirit Beast Valley." Qin Sizhu sat down, poured a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said angrily, "She blatantly walked through the back door. , everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out because of her status, this is too unfair."

Hua Jianli's hand in adjusting the quilt paused, his eyes slightly lowered, and he didn't say anything.

There are many unfair things in the world, and bullying others based on their status and power is even more common. This is not the case in the small area of ​​​​Lijia Village, let alone the princess of a country.

"Concentrate on doing your own thing, and don't talk about others, so as not to get into trouble." Hua Jianli thought for a while and replied.

Qin Sizhu lost interest when he heard what she said, "Ali, you are half a year younger than me, and you always speak as maturely as my mother."

"But I feel that I feel more at ease following you. Tell me, what did senior brother mean by his last words today?" Qin Sizhu walked to Hua Jianli and asked.

"The third test will appear randomly. The time and content will be kept secret for the time being. The answers will be revealed after the test."

Hua Jianli recalled what Fang Juexia said in the afternoon and shook his head.

"Oh, this year's test questions are really difficult. I'd better go to bed." Qin Sizhu complained and climbed into bed.

Late at night, when all the candidates had gone to bed, a spiritual power quietly covered all the guest rooms.

Hua Jianli fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, she dreamed that she came to a place called Huaijing Town.

The road paved with stone bricks in the town is spotless. There are exquisite and small houses on both sides, and there are vendors selling goods along the road.

Hua Jianli felt a little hungry, and the aroma of steamed buns from the street food shop came to her. She wanted to buy two steamed buns, but when she dug into her pocket, she realized that she had no money.

Suddenly a person shouted, "Master Du Dashan is giving out porridge again, everyone, go quickly!"

In an instant, many people rushed to the south.

Hua Jianli looked at his growling stomach and followed the crowd for two blocks.

Suddenly, he saw Qin Sizhu running towards him. Qin Sizhu was surprised and happy. He pinched Hua Jianli's face and said, "Ali, why did you come into my dream?"

Hua Jianli thought it was a dream at first, but it wasn't until she saw Qin Sizhu that she realized, "This may be the third test." Hua Jianli said thoughtfully.

"Ah?!" Qin Sizhu was shocked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Follow the crowd and take a look first before talking." Hua Jianli said, Qin Sizhu nodded, and they followed the crowd for a while and arrived in front of the Du Mansion.

I saw a slightly fat middle-aged man, holding a spoon and scooping porridge for the people in front of him. The servant next to him shouted, "Don't crowd, don't crowd, there are people coming, everyone, please line up."

Hua Jianli stood in the queue and heard people praising, "Du Dashan serves porridge at this time every month, and he is never absent whether it's raining or sunny." "Du Yuanwai is such a good person, and the refugees outside the city are all He cultivated it.”…

It was Hua Jianli and Qin Sizhu's turn. Seeing that they didn't bring bowls, Du Yuanwai asked the servant to bring two bowls.Qin Sizhu drank the porridge and thought as he walked, there are still such good and kind people in the world, who are charitable and considerate of the people.

The two walked to the door of a drug store and suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the store.

Looking into the store, I saw a little boy shouting, "My mother drank the medicine you got here. Not only did she not get better, but she also got worse. There must be something wrong with the medicine!"

The clerk at the drug store drove him away angrily, "Go, go, where did you come from? This is Du Yuanwai's drug store. Du Yuanwai has always helped people in need and was selfless. How could he be selling fake medicines?"

The little boy refused to give up, so the waiter asked someone to throw him out. The onlookers accused the little boy of throwing dirty water. Du Yuanwai's character was obvious to all.

"Eh? Isn't this a boy from the Zhang family? His father is a murderer." "Bah! It's so shameless for such a person to frame Du Dashan." There was a lot of curses in an instant.

The little boy's face turned red, he glared at the drug store fiercely, turned around and ran away.

Hua Jianli felt something was fishy and signaled Qin Sizhu to follow him.

The little boy crossed the alley and ran into a low and dilapidated house. The two followed them to the door and heard sobbing coming from inside the house, "Mom, they don't admit that there is something wrong with the medicine..."

A hoarse voice coughed a few times and comforted, "Musheng, I know my mother's body. Don't get into unnecessary arguments over my unsatisfactory body."

Hua Jianli knocked on the door, Musheng wiped his tears, looked at the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Little brother, I just heard you talk about the medicine at the door of the drug store. Can you let me see the medicine you grabbed?" Hua Jianli said as he walked into the house, and Qin Sizhu followed suit.

Musheng asked warily, "Who are you? Did the drug store send you here?"

Hua Jianli shook his head, "We were just passing by. I have been collecting medicinal herbs since I was a child, and I am familiar with the properties of medicinal herbs. Maybe I can help you find out if there is anything wrong with this medicine."

Musheng quickly took out the medicine package, opened it and took a closer look at it: Codonopsis pilosula, astragalus root, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Polyporus polygonum, raw Yiyiren, tangerine peel, Hedyotis diffusa, Houttuynia cordata, and iron leaves.

It's a medicine for treating lung disease. It doesn't seem to have any problems. No, Hua Jianli picked up one of the herbs and looked at it carefully.

Hedyotis diffusa was replaced by clovegrass!Dendrobium is cheaper than Hedyotis diffusa and looks similar, but it does not treat lung disease.

Hua Jianli told Musheng what he had discovered, and Musheng picked up the medicine and went to the drugstore.

Qin Sizhu stopped Musheng, "Wait, we will go with you."

Hua Jianli grabbed Qin Sizhu and said, "It's no use looking for a medicine shop. Go report it to the official." Then he thought about it and said, "Sizhu, you take Musheng first, I'll go somewhere."

Qin Sizhu was puzzled, but thought that Hua Jianli might have his own ideas, so he nodded and left with Musheng.
